Long time no read.

It’s been quite some time. Once upon a time I was a moderator/ prominent poster on the boards. Not long after the boards transferred ownership from Matthew/ Cara (iirc) –> Dan –> new owner my dad got kinda sick for a year and died. The site owner at the time unceremoniously dumped me as a mod without actually talking to me while my dad was on his death bed. The funny thing is even during that time I was still approving content, and moderating; I just wasn’t saying much. While I wasn’t that attached to being a moderator, that move left a pretty bad taste in my mouth, so in my fatigued state I packed up all my toys and left without a word.

An autocorrect error in my browser and a redirect (surprisingly thinkatheist.com was still in my history on one device) later, and I ended up on this site. It seems as if, like most forums of this general format, activity has really slowed to a crawl, but I still see some familiar names kicking around. I figured I’d pop back in and say ‘hi’. Not sure how much I will post, but…

Hi.

Some weather we’re having, amirite? (and other assorted small talk)

Hi back, & wildfire smoky greetings to you!

I’m so sorry about your dad. It’s a horrible loss.  Glad to see you back, though 🙂

Glad you are here. Sorry to hear about your dad. I still remember the more prolific posters from the early days of Think Atheist.  Yeah, being a site mod is such a glamorous job title to have 🙂

This evening is the first time in 4 months that I noticed a chill in the air here in Dublin. I reckon it is because the Pope is visiting here tomorrow. Now I must go look for my Darth Vader outfit…….

Back then it was mostly basic housekeeping. Sure it didn’t pay well (or at all), but you need never go hungry when you have all the spam you can eat.
